Can You Go Plastic Free for One Day?

KAXE | By Heidi Holtan
Published July 9, 2019 at 11:52 AM CDT

The BYObag Committee of the Grand Rapids Earth Circle challenges you and your family to a PLASTIC FREE DAY.

Choose a day between July 7th and 15th and challenge yourself to say no to:

Single use plastics

Bags, bottles, straws and utensils

It’s not easy, but together they believe it can be done.  They want to know how the PLASTIC FREE DAY challenge went for you – contact KAXE/KBXE for email and phone numbers of local folks who are gathering results.

Your participation is greatly appreciated.  Let us know how it goes, email us!
